In the Settings dialog of a controller resource (launched by right-clicking on a resource in MotionWorks IEC), the IP address of the controller is set. In Yaskawa templates, this field is displayed as:
192.168.1.1 -TO2000
The -TO attribute is the communication timeout value for the controller in milliseconds. If MotionWorks IEC is unable to communicate for this period of time, a timeout error will occur. If no -TO value is displayed in the field, then the default value of -10000 (10 seconds) is used.
The -P attribute is the port through which communications is established in the controller. It should always be left at the default value of -P41100 or communication to the controller will not be possible.
